Beachfront seating

A restaurant like the Turtle Club could sell out every table with the beautiful setting and not even bother with quality service and food. Luckily, they choose to provide not only a spectacular setting for your meal, but Service and food are both top-notch. A big thank you to our server Tanya who helped make our dinner a special evening. In regards to the meals, we started with an excellent ceviche, followed by the trigger fish, butter fish and carb cakes with frites. We had never had trigger fish or butter, fish, and found both delicious. The preparation and side dishes made for an excellent meal. A crabcake was a lighter choice but excellent prepared with crispy french fries, a nice side salad and very well well-made crabcakes. Having traveled to over 40 countries and had the opportunity to eat in many fine restaurants, the turtle club is definitely a stand out for both myself and my wife

Location, location, location! You can reserve a table inside or outside. We were outside, 5pm (sunset at 5:30) and were having our cocktails and wine while watching the sun set. Lots of choices for fine dining but fine dining on the beach touching the sun set...Just a few choices, really, and Turtle Club is a must experience when in Naples. Since I live here full time, I visit at least once a year but have not been since Hurricane Ian and found the venue, the remodeling, and surroundings perfect. I did not mind walking in sand to the table and was part of the experience of sitting outside. We sat as close to the beach as you could get. It's the ambiance, the service, and the experience that make Turtle Club unique and definitely Naples. Make reservations as far in advance as possible. I hope you enjoy as much as my friends and I did this past November 2025.

Back outdoor patio having dinner and watching the sunset

Through Lynn the G.M. my wife and I were able to get a reservation for an outside table adjacent to the shore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From this table we had a clear view of the sunset over the Gulf.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lynn informed the staff that it was our anniversary. With that the individuals who were assigned to our table treated us royally. This included our waiter Stefan who was exceptional and very jovial. Both meals were fabulous and we would highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. Many thanks to Lynn and Turtle Club restaurant crew for such a wonderful evening.

Creamy Lobster Bisque

Just absolutely fantastic! We came here for date night on Saturday night. We had reservations at 5:45 for outside. They sat us right in the front, the closet table to the water! It was just lovely. Having the sand on your toes while you sit and eat wonderful food! We started off with the fresh oysters. Which were delicious. Then we ordered the wonton tuna tacos since I'm a fan of tuna and they were so crisp & flavorful. So many elements tied in together that just was like a flavor bomb in your mouth. We also got the ceviche which was so fresh and light. Also all out our apps came SO fast legit less than 3 minutes and the first oysters were out! Love that service! For mains I ordered the bisque since I was already quite full from all the apps we ordered! It was everything I wanted. So creamy and delicious. My husband got the triggerfish which we've never heard of but the waitress said it's a mild white local fish so we were intrigued. It's crispy on the outside and was so yummy, stuffed with goodness and the sauce omg was it good! This place is so fun! I'd highly recommend! They also have valet service which is so awesome, makes it super easy to come and dine-in!

Epic dining experience

The Turtle Club is iconic! You just need to go! What could be better than eating on the sand and watching the sun go down? This place has been here since I was a little girl. The food is absolutely fabulous. The service is on spot. And the view well, you have to experience it at least once when coming down here. Anything on the menu is delicious... our favorite is the filet with grilled oysters.

My favorite restaurant in the Naples area. It's BEAUTIFUL. I recommend going for sunset and sitting outside - the view is incredible. The food was very fresh and delicious and the service was top tier. I don't think there was one thing on the menu I wouldn't want to order. Looking forward to my next visit.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful sunset and beach ambient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was outstanding. Service was excellent. We enjoyed the specials especially the turtle rockafeller.

Jumbo Lump Crab Cocktail
Alyssa M.

Blown away at how beautiful the ambiance is at The Turtle Club. We had the perfect timed seating for sunset and it was breathtaking. I was able to take my shoes off and have my feet in the sand. Jumbo lump crab cocktail came with a nice mustard sauce and cocktail sauce that complimented it perfectly. My husband and I both got the bistro frites, him with steak, me with lobster. We both thought it was really good and a nice unique dish on the menu. The crispiness/savoriness of the fries and the freshness/citrus of the arugula salad were so complimentary. The dessert was tasty and service was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bathroom was super clean and nice as well. Will definitely be back next visit

The walking path to the restaurant was gorgeous.

The best food I've had since moving to SWFL 8 months ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside with our feet in the sand on a gorgeous night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great,too. Valet parking was a nice perk and the path to the restaurant was gorgeous! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only negative was the swarm of flies that came when our food was served.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Carrot Cake

The miso grouper was the best, better than the mushroom risotto one. The carrot cake was to die for just like the peanut butter whiskey drink!

Such a beautiful and wonderful dinner experience with my fiancé while watching a great sunset at the beach at the Turtle club! Yes, reservations it's a must! We decided to wait until till the snow birds were gone to enjoy this place since we are locals and figured it might be less busy. We decided on making a reservation for outside on a Saturday at 8pm knowing that we wanted to make sure we got the sunset view and we weren't going to be going there during dinner rush hour/ traffic. Regardless this place is always busy. They have a decent amount of tables inside and outside. The parking situation-valet, some in the street but also there's a parking garage which is free if you have a beach pass which is what we did, t's a short walk, less than 5 minutes. We arrived early, knowing we would be willing to wait and walk around the beach however they were able to seat us early. Awesome! Our server Melinda was so friendly, helpful, she was very efficient, we were very impressed with the service she provided. For our drinks we went with the Lychee, Piña Colata martini, and Spicy Pineapple margarita all 3 were very delicious, they did not feel too sweet and had sufficient alcohol to not make you feel like it's a waste, we hate getting watered down drinks that are full of sugar and no alcohol. For our appetizer we decided to share their Turtle bread and Cream Lobster bisque, WOW. We normally don't care for bread but their pretzel bread and butter was unique and delicious. Their bisque was enough for both, very tasty, we would get both again! For my entree I went with the Sea Harvest, I don't even know where to start.. shrimp, mahi mahi was the fish, lobster, scallop with their jasmine rice and oyster turtlefeller and asparagus was to die for.. I couldn't finish it all and took some home for lunch the next day, it still was just as good. I would 100% get this again! My fiancé got the Miso Marinated butterfish and I got to try some, it truly melts in your mouth.. we couldn't have been happier with our choices. This time we decided on no dessert, but will consider it for the future for sure. It's pricey for sure but well worth it, not only do you get delicious food but also a beautiful view of what FL has to offer. We will definitely come back!

Crispy Calamari and Carpaccio*

Highly recommend! All of the food is yummy, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the views are amazing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], service is wonderful, such a great time!

The View from Nowhere The sun sets beautifully here. I'll give them that. That golden moment when the horizon kisses the Gulf, when the sky pulls its curtain of fire and indigo over the sea. It's the kind of view that draws people in, hoping to match the beauty of the outside with something resembling warmth on the inside. But beauty, like hospitality, should go deeper than surface level. From the moment my foot crossed the threshold of the Turtle Club, I felt it. That subtle static in the air. Not just indifference, but something colder. More practiced. The kind of quiet, polite rejection that doesn't need to speak its name because it's been doing the rounds here for years. The hostess, impossibly young, blinked at me like I was a language she hadn't studied. Asked the same question twice, as if I didn't understand her. Or worse, as if she didn't understand me. She sat us near the entrance, just shy of the restroom. The kind of table you give people you're hoping won't stay long. We noticed a window seat open. My companion asked politely if we could move. "It's reserved," she said, with the kind of certainty that doesn't leave room for doubt. But not long after, a different party walked in. Notably different. Not in attitude, but in complexion. And suddenly, that very table became available. It's subtle. That kind of thing. You have to be paying attention. But I always do. The food? Passable. The kind of mid-tier coastal fare dressed up with butter and false promises. There was a butterfish worth a mention. Delicate, well-cooked. But I've never had a dish whose flavor curdled so quickly under the weight of the room around it. We asked, maybe naively, if we could move outside. There were open tables, after all. The manager said he'd check. I didn't believe him. I had already seen him smiling, hand on the shoulder, leaning in close at all the right tables. Tables that didn't look like ours. He never stopped at ours. Never looked in our direction. It wasn't overt. It rarely is. This wasn't burning crosses or slurs. It was something quieter. More insidious. The practiced exclusion of people who don't fit the postcard. Not racism, not exactly. But prejudice? Judgment? The sharp-edged ignorance that cuts in silence? Without a doubt. And that's the thing about restaurants. They aren't just about food. They're about feeling. About being seen, welcomed, included. About being told, without saying it, that you belong here. At Turtle Club, we weren't. And no sunset view can make up for that.

There is not a bad table in the entire restaurant.
